Alternatives to Superwhisper

{"intro": "Superwhisper turns spoken words into polished text wherever you can enter text. Super Mode reads the screen and adjusts formatting for the current app, while support for more than 100 languages includes automatic detection and translation. Speaker identification, offline on-device processing, file transcription on Pro, and transcript search and export extend it beyond basic dictation. A free plan remains after a 3,000-word Pro feature trial, with Pro from $8.49 per month.\n\nAnother product may fit better when your work starts with recorded audio or video, requires particular caption and document exports, or depends on browser, API, or self-hosted access. Superwhisper runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, with specified minimum versions for macOS, Windows, and iOS. Compare live cross-application dictation with file transcription, language range, speaker and timestamp handling, editing controls, and output formats. Also consider whether you need foot-pedal playback, pay-as-you-go credits, per-user billing, or a one-time purchase instead of Superwhisper’s plans.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:simon-says", "name": "Simon Says", "best_for": "Media teams needing extensive editing and caption exports", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from $15/user/mo (annual)", "key_difference": "Simon Says focuses on timestamped transcription with broad media-editor exports, while Superwhisper emphasizes live formatted dictation across applications.", "choose_when": "Choose it for 120 included minutes, 100 languages, and exports to Premiere, Final Cut, Avid, DaVinci Resolve, and other tools."}, {"ref": "sw:happy-scribe", "name": "Happy Scribe", "best_for": "Multilingual transcription with API and flexible purchasing", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Happy Scribe offers 150 languages, API access, and pay-as-you-go credits, unlike Superwhisper’s app-centered plans.", "choose_when": "Choose it when 150-language coverage, API integration, or credit top-ups matter more than Superwhisper’s offline processing."}, {"ref": "sw:easytranscript", "name": "easytranscript", "best_for": "Desktop file transcription with detailed editing controls", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from €5/mo", "key_difference": "easytranscript concentrates on editable audio and video files, adding transcription rules, automatic speaker changes, and programmable footswitches.", "choose_when": "Choose it for GAT-style rules, customizable shortcuts, word suggestions, autocorrection, and footswitch-controlled playback on desktop systems."}, {"ref": "sw:f4transkript", "name": "f4transkript", "best_for": "Paid desktop and web transcription with timestamped exports", "pricing": "From €25", "key_difference": "f4transkript is a paid transcription tool supporting 46 languages and DOCX, RTF, and SRT exports, rather than Superwhisper’s broader language range.", "choose_when": "Choose it when those export formats and Linux, macOS, Windows, or web access suit your recording workflow."}, {"ref": "sw:gladia", "name": "Gladia", "best_for": "API-based transcription with low starting usage price", "pricing": "From $0.61", "key_difference": "Gladia provides API access and SRT/VTT exports across web and desktop, while Superwhisper adds cross-app dictation and offline models.", "choose_when": "Choose it when an API, caption-file output, and 100-language support are more important than Superwhisper’s local processing."}, {"ref": "sw:notta", "name": "Notta", "best_for": "High-volume meeting capture across devices and extensions", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from $8.17/user/mo (annual) · 7-day trial", "key_difference": "Notta offers 1,800 included minutes, a browser extension, and broader document exports, while Superwhisper centers on dictation and offline models.", "choose_when": "Choose it for heavy meeting volume, Android through Windows coverage, or TXT, DOCX, SRT, PDF, and XLSX exports."}, {"ref": "sw:express-scribe", "name": "Express Scribe", "best_for": "Controlled playback for manual transcription workflows", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Express Scribe is an audio player with variable-speed playback, foot-pedal support, and dictation handling, not a standalone polished-text dictation app.", "choose_when": "Choose it when keyboard or USB-foot-pedal control, multi-channel playback, and automatic dictation-file transfer matter most."}]}
